Introduced Project Jigsaw, the Java Platform Module System. A contentious development which involved delays to the release of OpenJDK 9 after the JCP took the unprecedented step of voting against the public review of JSR 376., leading to changes to the encapsulation of internal APIs and a reconsideration ballot.
